As Glyn said lubing it may not be a good medium/long term solution: the solenoid/Bendix will may start sticking again when the grit adheres to it especially if its not started up that frequently.

I bet it won't be the last time you see it.

997 3.8 startup
Tayo replied to englishempire's topic in 997-1 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 2S, Carrera 4S)
If its not the aos there seem to be a few factors: how long it was sitting, how long since the oil was changed, and also if it was not sitting a long time it helps if you idle it for a minute or 2 before shutdown. Higher viscosity and newer oil make for less smoke (too high viscosity like 15 w 50 makes for other problems however). Anyhow from my 997 gt3 with 9k mi, taking those factors into consideration you can control/predict the the whitish smoke to some extent.
